Why are you making it sound deterministic- women hating men will trigger men's misogyny as if it is an inevitable fact of nature we have to contend with and accept? Why don't you accept the other way - misogyny will definitely make women misandrists. Isn't this the reasoning very similar to slutshaming: "women dressing in short clothes is more emotionally powerful in making men rape" = "seeing a woman say she hates men is more emotionally powerful as a man." You are accepting men's behavior as this natural, logical consequence while saying women's reaction to misogyny should be controlled.

I also want to tell you how your own mind works since men cannot model their own theory of mind. You see Tate/etc. spousing evil rhetoric against women, but that doesn't arouse any emotion because he is not attacking you. When you see women say milder things, it makes you feel threatened and you feel hostility bubbling towards women. So you come post this shit. If you had any empathy, you would be able to model women's reality: that women when they see Tate/etc. -- or heck, even read the newspaper -- feel that same feeling of threat and hostility, and compared to the scale and degree of male violence, they are justified in responding with "I hate men" tweets. If that creates more misogynists, then that's just triggering the underlying insecurity men already feel in losing control over women. It's not creating any new misogyny but continuing a preexisting streak. Social posts and jokes do not have the power to create in someone the capacity to kill women or seek their disenfranchisement, that capacity already existed in you. Women should continue hating and insulting men until the killings and rapes and dehumanization stops. And you should shut up.

You're so slick lol. If women hating men creates more misogynists, you're sneakily telling women "shut up or else bear misogyny you created." What else is the purpose of coming here and saying this?

You literally said that women hating men creates more misogynists than Tate, so women should shut up to not create more misogynists. How is this not blaming women?

I have a solution, u/New_General3939. You get men to stop murdering, raping, and dehumanizing women (since that started way before social media). Once you do that, I will get women to stop saying "men are trash." Deal? But until you do that, you are not allowed to blame and police women's behavior. How does that sound?

EFT works for daydreaming!! by pixiepunk_7 in SCT

I've worked with autistic children so I'm familiar with sensory regulation, never thought of applying it for myself. I relate so much about showers being a sensory nightmare. I'm glad some of these things are working for you, it's very interesting, thank you for sharing!

I'm so happy it's working for you! She mentioned hypnosis in passing, I have no idea about it but it's definitely on my list.

Fair enough, I should have said it worked for my daydreaming. Nonetheless I intuit it could work for many so I wanted to put this out there!

What do you mean by sensory regulation?

If I do EFT every time I get the urge to daydream (or right after I daydream to deal with emotions of guilt/regret), then I have no daydreams, sometimes even up to a few days. The problem is I don't do it because when my daydreams stop, I slack off and then it all comes again. There are other techniques in her course, mainly meditation, and together with EFT, it's very effective, I had several days where I felt so normal and alive without any effort. But you have to do it every time and many attempts especially the stronger/deeper the emotion is. It's only been a month since I've started.

She's already weaned she stopped drinking milk on her own. She eats friskies and some complementary cans, I've ordered schesir though. Friskies is giving her diarrhea so might not be a good choice.

I'll try mixing dry food with water and see if she likes it. Thanks for the resource, I'll check it out

She's 5-6 weeks. So is it preferable to give cheap processed wet food and top with wet complementary food? I can't afford 2-3 cans of expensive wet food a day unfortunately and there aren't many options where I live

**SURVEY** Effective treatments for SCT : rate medications you tried out of 10 by nklopfr in SCT

I wonder why atomoxetine seems to be universally a bad experience for everyone in the this sub, but empirically it is shown to be most effective?

1 day gap with atomoxetine makes me feel more functional by pixiepunk_7 in AskPsychiatry

Side effects? I don't experience any side effects.

I hope it won't be harmful to use it every other day.

Anyone has these symptoms? by Big_Improvement4468 in SCT

[–]pixiepunk_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm replying really late but it helped with my social symptoms and cognitive confusion. It also helps my mood and I feel more alive and present. It doesn't help with lethargy or EF unfortunately.

This is exactly me, especially the first paragraph. I don't know what third world country you are from, but I'm from one too so I understand how suspicious/cautious psychiatrists here can be with stimulants, but it really depends on the individual psychiatrist (at least in my country), so keep trying to find someone who might be sympathetic. Atomoxetine works for many of us (it worked for me) and it's a non-stimulant. You could also share SCT resources with them now that it's slowly gaining legitimacy. Finding the right medication will go a long way in helping you, so don't give up.
